I’ve never eaten Vietnamese food before and had no idea what it’s like at all. All I could think of was that it probably has rice and noodles and that’s as far as I could think. I didn’t know if it was spicy like Thai food or pickled like Korean or raw like Japanese. So, I didn’t really suddenly decide to try it out.
It was all those insidous ‘marketing’ by people I know. Every once in a while, I’d hear someone rave on and on about how great the food at Miss Saigon is. So, in the end, . . . → Read More: Vietnamese food at Miss Saigon
I know, boiled chicken just sound so bland. And boring. And plain. But do read on and you will see that it is not bland, boring or plain. Just look at it…
Far from being boring, it is so flavourful that the remaining sauces from the boiled chicken is pure neat chicken stock. Talk about a two in one dish! And yes, this dish is pretty healthy as it involved loads of vegetables and no deep frying to be seen!
Today, I’m going to give the low-down on flax seeds and its health benefits. Why do we need this oily looking seeds and why is it so good for us? Well, read on to find out more.

After torturing you for three straight days with my cabbage recipes, I feel so bad that I think I better share with you the egg tarts recipe I tried out for the very first time not so long ago.
Egg tarts have to be one of my favourite non-chocolate desserts or snacks or whatever category you wanna place them in. To me, egg tarts are probably the best pastry ever made…well, except for pineapple rolls. And cheesecake. And…err…never mind. Let’s just say, I absolutely love egg tarts and have been hankering to try making them myself.
This is the final instalment of my cabbage recipe series. Really. I won’t torture you anymore with cooked cabbage pictures. Be glad that at least you won’t be able to smell the cooked cabbage. That that it smells bad or anything, especially not when I am the one who cooked it.
After putting it in soup and then in an omelette, now it is just cabbage cooked the usual Chinese way, stir fried and yes, you get it, healthy. No, I am not obsessed with healthy food. Whatever made you think that?
After using some of the cabbage for the pita meal and then for a Simple Cabbage Soup, I still have way loads of cabbage to cook. So, next I modified a Japanese cabbage pancake recipe and end up with a cabbage omelette. Yeah, I know it sounds darn horrible especially for those with something against cabbage, but really, it’s not all that bad.
Okay, if you really hate cabbage that much, you don’t have to suffer through this recipe. Or the next one, for that matter. I promise, after tomorrow, I won’t be posting anymore cabbage recipe. Not . . . → Read More: Cabbage recipe: An easy cabbage omelette
So, we got a huge head of cabbage from a neighbour recently and what am I going to do with a huge head of cabbage that could spoil and stink up the fridge if not cooked and eaten.
First, I used some of it, raw, with my pita dinner with baked chicken breast meat. Then I cooked it in three other ways.
